Long clinical experience gave Dr. Winnicott a unique standing in child psychiatry, and few experts did more to present the world of children and parents to the general public. Beginning with the natural bond between mother and child—the bond we call love, which is the key to personality—Dr. Winnicott deals in turn in this volume with the phases of mother/infant, parent/child, and child/school. From the problems—which are not really problems: feeding, weaning, and innate morality in babies—he ranges to the very real difficulties of only children, of stealing and lying, and of first experiments in independence. Shyness, sex education in schools, and the roots of aggression are among the many other topics the author covers in a book that, for its manner of imparting knowledge simply and sympathetically, must be indispensable for intelligent parents. 'His style is lucid, his manner friendly, and his years of experience provide much wise insight into child behavior and parental attitudes.' British Journal of Psychology.
